This year our family gala was a little different.Usually we have a family program spotlighting a fewlucky siblings who made amazing progress that year such as a new job,new baby, or like overcoming a plane crash...you know, that type of thing.

This year, since the Freedom Festival was honoring me with the first everCourage Award, my family came and supported me.They all sat front row. I felt so proud.After we met at Topher's house where his wife Lisa madedelicious desserts.

NieNie Dialogues

{stephaNIE NIElson} My blog began in 2005. I write daily about whatever I am doing, mostly about my five children; Claire, Jane, Oliver, Nicholas, and Charlotte. I also write about my husband Christian (Mr. Nielson), my struggles, my blessings and my strong Mormon faith. In 2008, Christian and I were in a airplane crash. I was burned over 80% of my body. I am living a beautiful life despite pain and challenges.
